WHA2,'Troy Milanese, well known to Troy night club patrons, pops on quar- ter-hour: swings. He is of the sweet-voiced, natural school, han- dling current numbers in a fashion which was. at the height of its popu- larity several years ago. Milanese's warbling is pfood but stylistic, the latter .feature being particularly noticeable under the orchestral ar- rangement followed here. A small group of instrumentalists follow him, Milanese moves rapidly from number t<? number. Keeps his voice riding the air waves almost con- tinuously for 15 minutes, a better effect would be achieved if he were to take one or two breathers. Jaco. MAJOR. LEWIS H.

WGY, Schenectady A contralto singing pops Tor the most part in the deep-voice style used by many femme radio warblers, The .'chest' technique was more in evidence on the first than on the second program heard. On the lat- ter, Miss Ball modulated in the up- per registers to produce a tone which sounded part soprano and part tenor—once or twice'"the voice sounded startingly like that of: a man. The range is rather wide and the timbre good. Miss Ball might be developed into a local programmer, inasmuch as she seems; to be the. only one of her particular singing school broadcast- ing over WGY. A more definite format, with some individual touch, would be advisable.. Young woman now works mid-afteruoon. Jaco. ALARM CLOCK SERE With Jud and Lou; La Hay a Songs and Chatter .> 15 Mins.
